(ELICIT) Teacher will show a pictures to the students.

Questions:
Have you ever looked around and recognized different patterns? Have you asked yourself
what the world’s environment would look like if there were no patterns? Why do you think
there are patterns around us?

(ENGAGE)
Complete Me!
This activity will help the students to recall multiplication of polynomials.
Complete the crossword polynomial by finding the indicated products below.

1
 a. How did you find each product?
b. Did you encounter any difficulty in finding the products? Why?
c. What concept did you apply in finding the prodiuct?

(EXPLORE)
1. Teacher will give different polynomials.
2. Students will find the greatest common factor and give the answer in factored form.

POLYNOMIAL GCF FACTORED FORM

𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 x 𝑥(𝑥 + 2)
4𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 2x 2𝑥(2𝑥 + 3)
3𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 3x 3𝑥(𝑥 + 2)
5𝑥 + 10𝑥 2 5x 5𝑥(1 + 2𝑥)
6𝑥 4 − 14𝑥 2 2x2 2𝑥 2 (3𝑥 2 − 7)

(EXPLAIN)

1. Teacher will check the given activity.

2. Teacher will explain more about factoring and finding the GCF.
Definition:
Factoring is finding two or more factors of a number or a polynomial.
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two or more monomials is the common factor
having the greatest numerical factor and with variables having the least degree. Thus, the
term 𝑎𝑥 𝑛 is the GCF of a polynomial if:
1. a is the greatest integer that divides each of the coefficients of the polynomials; and
2. n is the smallest exponent of x in all the terms of the polynomial.

b. I noticed that …
c. The importance of studying this topic in real – life situation is/ are…

Student will answer the given Activity.

Solve problems involving factors of polynomials
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by P=2l + 2w,
where l represents the length and w represents the width. Use factoring to
rewrite the formula.
Solution:

The GCF of the terms is 2.

𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤
𝑃 = 2(𝑙 + 𝑤)

IV. EVALUATE
I. Find the greatest common factor of each pair of monomials.
1. 10𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 12𝑎2 𝑏
2. 12𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 36𝑎𝑏
3. 6𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 20𝑎2 𝑏

 II. Factor completely polynomials with common monomial factor.
4. 5𝑎(𝑎 + 3) − 𝑐(𝑎 + 3) 5. 6(3𝑏 − 1) + 5𝑎(1 − 3𝑏) + 4𝑐(3𝑏 − 1)

V. EXTEND
1. Find the GCF and Factor each completely.
a. 7𝑚5 (𝑚 + 𝑛) + 14𝑚3 (𝑚 + 𝑛)
b. 15𝑥 3 (𝑥 + 𝑦)2 − 30𝑥 2 (𝑥 + 𝑦) − 45𝑥(𝑥 + 𝑦)4
2. Study about on how to factor completely the difference of two squares.
